💬 'When I first started living in the van, I joined a gym for £16 a month to have a workout and take a shower. Fortunately, one of my friends is now letting me use the shower at her house'

Left with little choice, I sold most of my possessions from my flat for £4,000 and borrowed £2,000 from a friend. Using this money, I purchased a converted airport transfer van for £6,000 to live and travel around in. The new tenants in my old flat are now paying £750 a month in rent.
